IBM shares have dropped 13.34% in 2026 while the dividend yield rose to 2.66%. The company’s free cash flow covered dividends more than twice in 2025, and recurring revenue from software and services supports steady cash flow. However, IBM’s total debt has increased to $63.8 billion due to acquisitions, raising concerns about the sustainability of dividend growth if debt continues to rise faster than cash flow. IBM’s dividend history is strong, with uninterrupted payments since 1999, but future raises may slow as management prioritizes maintaining the streak over income growth.
